<v Speaker 3>a lot today, and it's just you gotta have the

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 3>right mindset for today.

<v Speaker 1>For for a day like today, it seems like.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 4>The running backs, I don't wanna say it get picked on,

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.440
<v Speaker 4>but whenever you go on the ball, you've got almost

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 4>eleven guys coming up to you and shopping at the

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 4>ball and stuff like that. I mean, uh, does that

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.599
<v Speaker 4>get tiresome after a while. It's sort of asu wer

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 4>of all those little extra hits.

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I mean, I mean it comes with it

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 3>comes with the uh with the position running back.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean I love when people hit me.

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean it it uh, it kind of turns in

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.919
<v Speaker 3>uh to another person. I feel like if you hit

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 3>me and I'm like, well, y'all seen today, if it

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.440

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>do it.

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 2>And one that you've worked with since you were a

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>little long football.

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, since since a little since a little boy. Uh,

<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, you've had nothing but success so far in

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>your career.

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say that.

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Almost and a half yards to carry.

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Are you frustrated that you haven't gotten more run to

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>this point?

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh? No, man, Everything everything happens for a reason. Uh.

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I feel like me coming in getting

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 3>the carriage that I've gotten. It's just It's just a

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 3>step to get closer to where I wanna be, you know,

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 3>just not not rushing anything.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>When it comes it be be the perfect time.

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Would you describe your running style and who would you

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>say you you've.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Had in your game after?

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.239
<v Speaker 3>I wish I could answer that, I don't really I

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 3>don't really uh watch football like that, like say I

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>don't like not sorry, I watched film, but I don't

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 3>like say if we like, if a game's on or

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 3>something like that.

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really watching.

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Other play other people like that, So I just watch

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 3>defenses and things like that.

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Your rushing style, how how I describe mine?

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Just just a angry dude running just full of steam,

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 3>trying to get first downs and then touchdowns and then

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, that's how I described it.

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>You call a lot of passes this training camp. I

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think I've seen a drop that was catching the ball.

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And emphasis in your training this offseason and working on

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 2>that and what did you do to work on that

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>specific part of your game.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 3>See the funny thing about that is I actually bought

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 3>a three thousand dollars, three thousand dollars one of those

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>shooting drug machines this summer, and I was like, if

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 3>I want to be something or something close to Christian,

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:29.679
<v Speaker 3>I gotta start catching something.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>So that was that was me investing in myself.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 3>I bought that machine and and I had my dad

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 3>out there.

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>He sweating and got his talent and things like that, and.

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 3>He's shooting a drug machine at me and you know,

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 3>running routes and things like that. So we had a

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>we had a fun time with it this summer because

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 3>the same one actually I got it from Rob. Rob

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 3>got hooked me up with the dude that got me

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 3>the drug machine for me.

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>So from Christian in terms of being a probe me

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 1>and running back a lot a lot. I mean, in

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the in the meeting room, I sit beside him.

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm so I'm grateful and glad that I even get

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 3>to sit beside him. I picked I pick his brain

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 3>every day. Hopefully he's not tired of me. Sometimes I

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 3>still feel like I'm the rookie and I've asked him

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 3>so many questions. He probably like, dang, I gotta switched

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 3>my seat or something. But I just love sitting beside him.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Though in the meeting You've.

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Been coached by you know, one of the running back

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>legends in the League and Bobby T. What have you

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>been able to learn from him in a short amount.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Of time, Man, I'd be lying if I didn't tell

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 3>you that we started off on a downhill, like we

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 3>were now on good terms at all, and we we

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 3>just had to get it going. Like, you know, I

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 3>had to learn his style. He had learned my style.

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Well he didn't really have to learn my style, but

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.479
<v Speaker 3>I had to learn his style. So you know, it

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 3>just took it just took me to growing up and

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 3>getting in the system and actually learning just him just

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 3>because you know, he he's an old school coach, so

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 3>he you know what I'm saying, You gotta do things

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 3>a certain way, and so it's just how I had to.

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I had to switch up have.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.640

<v Speaker 3>to Brock's it's just just keep going. It's just a

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>little simple things like that. And he always if I'm
